THE GUARDIAN Thursday July 13 1967 5 TELEVISION by Stanley Reynolds BSE Prince of petomane by Peter Lermon. JtiVph Pu'in! writers of lie mother tongue At another level, it is perhaps moie satisfactory see a woman's new of life, or at least the O'Brien mancipation Proclamation, dilfused through arl rather than lalionously delivered bv a muhvifely inteiviewcr Anywaj, the play, Which Of These Two Ladies Is lie Married To was very enjoyable. Miss O'Brien, especially in the character of Claire (Glenda Jackson), managed to create within a half-hour a play of charactei rather than just incident. And she also managed to unteilock two explosive situations in a space where other half-hour playwrights often baicl manage one These aie the skills of the good television writer and Miss O'Buen not only mastered them but also brought to her play those two outstanding attribute'; of the female novelist, a good ear for dialogue and a line cje for detail. Stella Ricbmaii, the producer of this 'scries, has already brought us a Dons Lessing play and one would like to see her encouiage some of Britain's more reticent literary ladies.

rpELEVISION seems lo be a liltle slow in A taking advantage ol the literary talent in Britain today. True, one sees a lot of literary personalities, heroes, heroines, characters, and even corpses on television panels, interview programmes, and in adaptations, but when it comes to actually creating anything for television, the medium has a way ot falling back on its own. The theatre, for example, is always calling in some outsider like Donovan to write music for As You Like It," or Marianne Faithful to act in Chekhov, and newspapers and magazines are always asking artists to try their hand at journalism: witness the Guardian's piecemeal printing of ,1. P. Donleavy back in the fifties or its current run of articles bv playwright Peler Terson.

Miss Edna O'Brien, whom we last saw on television as a guest on the Eamonn Andrews Show, was on television last night in a far more sympathetic role, writing a "Half Hour Story" for Hediffusion. It is a good thing for television to take advantage of one of the brightest of the female medical examinations which are described in La Semaine Medical of 1892 by a Dr Marcel Baudouin with a zest and enthusiasm for detail which unfortunately cannot be reproduced here Pujol finally broke with the Moulin Ilouge and opened his own theatre, the Pompadour. Then in 1898, the year Pierre and Marie Curie discovered radium, Pujol discovered that the Moulin Rouge were going to present a rival female petomanie. He brought an action for unauthorised imitation. Lawyers had to attend the theatre and note the range, quality and form of the lady's performance.

But before the case actually came to court the lady was exposed as a fraud (she had whistles hidden in her skirts). Pujol, who lived to be 88, was an outstanding example of man's ingenuity in making the best of whatever gifts nature bestows be they ever so curious. With extraordinary courage, and by the sheer quality of his performance, he imposed the fart on a stupefied but defenceless Europe. He was a star until 1914 when the countries of Europe decided to get together on a roaring orgy of petomania of their own which was no doubt distasteful to this gentle and scrupulous performer. (By the way, he claims never to have suffered from stagef right).

How has his name come to light again Simply because his family of honest bakers and masons in Marseilles were pained that their famous ancestor had become so neglected. Around July 14 (last year) they had the idea of appealing to a pair of well-known journalists on the ORTF pointing out the injustice that France has done nothing for the memory of its Petomane Now justice has been done. But, alas, given the standards of our time the tribute could neither be aural nor visual. Peter Lennon first time on a public stage in Mir-seilles. His talent had already been the envy of his schoolmates, the admiration of his regiment, and evoked the solicitous respect of his family.

Within a week Marseilles was crowding to see the Petomane. For the next twenty years, in Marseilles, Pans, Brussels, North Africa, all over Europe Pujol presented an unchanging ritual Dressed in a red coat and black satin knickerbockers, he would approach the ramp and announce gravely Mesdames, Mesdemoiselles, Messieurs, I have the honour to present to you a performance of petomania. He would then stoop and begin his finely graded, escalating performance. In his history of the "Caf'conc Jacques Charles describes the scene at the Moulin Rouge. At first the audience would remain astounded.

Then someone would be stricken with a crazy laugh. In a moment people would be howling and staggering with laughter. Some would stand paralysed, tears pourmg down their cheeks, while others beat their heads and fell on the floor. Ladies would begin to suffocate in their tight corsets, and for this reason there were always a number of white-coated nurses in attendance MLLE YVETTE GUILBERT wrote: "It was at the Moulin Rouge that I heard the longest spasms of laughter, the most hysterical cries of hilarity that I have ever heard in my life." The King of the Belgians travelled incognito to Paris for a private demonstration by M. Pujol.

But it was not only an audience in search of a beily laugh who flocked to see Pujol the Academy of Medicine in Paris was, so to speak, hot on his tail. Pujol, partly to prove the authenticity of his performance (which he could hardly do on the stage of the Moulin Rouge), submitted to a number of elaborate "POR JULY 14, ihc lime when A Parisians give voice with petard and brass-band to whatever dry store of joy is still left in them, a publisher, M. Jean-Jacques Pauvcrt, has very appropriately produced a handsome tribute to one of the most celebrated noise-makers the European stage has ever known M. Joseph Pujol At (he height of his career as star of the Moulin Rouge, Marcel Pagnol in his book "Notes on Laughter" tells us that Joseph Pujol could draw matinee gates worth 20,000 francs, while Sarah Bernhardt the same week only managed 8,000. Eye witnesses claim that he was one of the greatest amusers of all time.

His career spanned more than twenty years. Why then does the name Pujol mean nothing lo us today Because to perpetuate his name it is necessary to describe what he did, and for a couple of generations this simply could not be done in print. (Perhaps it still can't.) Dear me, how styles of entertainment have changed Pujol described himself as Le Petomane." Not to beat about the bush Pujol's talent was that he could fart like nobody else in the world, before, then, or since. He could fart tenderly (le petit pet Umide de la jeune fille) or aggressively (le pet rond du maqon); like a machine gun; or he could produce a deep, slow cannon-roar lasting up to ten seconds. He could give a very good account of a do-ra-me-fa derr'iere-wise, imitate a violin, a bass, or the timbre of a trombone.

Pujol was no scurvy, back-street, perverted farter. He only farted in the very best places, and for considerable sums of money. Eyewitnesses insist on the gravity and impassibility of his performance, and the essential seriousness of this father of ten buxom children. In 1887, the year Mallarme published L'Apres midi d'une Faune," Pujol, aged 30, appeared for the THE NEW BBC ORCHESTRA at the Cheltenham Festival by Gerald Lamer all of them illuminated by the occasional orchestral guffaw. It was tune these cliches were exposed, intentionally or not.

The British work was no joke. It was written by Thomas Rajna in memory of Clanca Davidson and first peiformed (privately) at a memorial concert in 19G2. These Movements for Strings pursue their basic material, a chord and a related melody, seriously and single-mindedly through five continuous sections. The tone is consistently passionate but there is a successfully wide variety of expression Within that basic mood. It is neither strikingly original nor obviously derivative, although it does betray its composer's Hungarian, post-Bartok origin.

More important is its concentrated intensity and the personal feel of the music. The New BBC Orchestra's first pei-formance one had to take on trust. But it showed in La Mer," in George Hurst's dramatic and well ordered interpretation, that it is at least trustworthy. The strings revealed little distinction, but, at least, they remained tidily together in Tippett's Little Music, after a very shaky start. And the whole orchestra was able to reproduce much of the brilliance of the scoring of the Ritual Dances from The Midsummer Marriage." THE Cheltenham Festival Concert, given in the town hall by the New BBC Orchestra (and broadcast on the Third Programme) was hampered by an unwieldy programme.

The second half was devoted to an unimportant selection of music by Sir Michael Tippett and it was conducted by the composer before the interval there was one over-busy hour in which a first public performance and a first performance in this country were heard in succession with some pop Stravinsky at the start and Debussy's "La Mer" at the end. These four works were conducted by George Hurst. The Scherzo a la Russe was presumably included to prove that even the most respectable of contemporary composers, always conscious of style and of his development of it, is capable of a commercial throwback. For if Stravinsky didn't take himself too seriously in 1944, there is no reason why the Polish violinist-composer, Grazyna Baeewicz, should either in 1961 when she wrote her "Night Thoughts." This is a most amusing parody of modernistic conventions a compilation of the cheaper colour effects, the formal devices, the more grotesque kinds of fragmentation, the more common rhythmic peculiarities. I grow old I grow old I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled" picture at Blackpool by Robert Smithies VICTORIA DE LOS ANGELES at the Royal Festival Hall by Hugo Cole POETRY INTERNATIONAL at the Queen Elizabeth Hall the completeness with which they represent the singer's own personality.

Victoria de los Angeles did invent a kindly, less pert than usual character for Rossini's Rosina but it was in de Falla's Seven Popular Songs that she was at last able to commit herself fully to the music: the easy, unforced approach remains. Even the singer's stance expressed a deeper involvement, a voice and music came together in indivisible unity. The London Mozart Players under Harry Blech accompanied faithfully, apparently enjoying their role of great guitar the Spanish songs and giving a performance of Mozart's Linz Symphony that improved steadily as it went on, gaining in freedom. The thick programme found room for 40 pages of advertisements, but not for the two excellent oboists, Neil Black and Celia Nicklin, who opened the programme with a sparkling and elegant performance of Handel's "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba." T7ICTORIA DE LOS ANGELES was perfectly right, of course, in thinking that we had come to the Festival Hall last night to hear her, rather than to gain new insights into the characters of Mozart's Ilia, or the anonymous heroine of Beethoven's Ah Perfido." Instead of going out to discover the character of the music, she sings it as it presents itself as though her main duty lay to each phrase, even to each note. Was this, perhaps, how Melba sang? With detachment, refusing to involve herself too deeply with her own singing as she unselfconsciously displayed the voice in all its marvellous qualities.

It is the voice itself that we respond to even and rich, never forced, used with an instrumental clarity and perfection of intonation. Some sounds have that almost hurtful clarity of high-born notes yet the comparison with any instruments does not hold. The sounds, ravishing and feminine, never lose the immediacy of human utterance, compelling attention by THE BEAR at Sadler's Wells by Edward Greenfield "rpiIE BEAR" is not merely the best, most carefree, work that Walton has composed in two decades, it is one of the surest comic operas that an Englishman has ever written. What so many composers fail to realise is that opera, even more than in straight comedy, the belly-laugh is only an incidental. How often do we laugh out loud at Verdi's "Falstaff or even at the antics of Puccini's Bohemians As a rule not at all, yet operatically speaking they represent an ideal, for the comedy, heavily underlined as it is in terms of the straight stage, exactly suits the heightened actions and conventions of opera.

So with The Bear Walton's shrewdly judged truncation of the original plus Paul Dehn's witty lyrics for a handful of set numbers makes for the right balance, as the first London performance last night at Sadler's Wells made plain. If anything the musical humour is even more detailed than I deduced from the Aldeburgh first performance, and I hope before Jong maybe when EMI's projected record emerges that the composer will give us a full glossary of the parodies involved. by Terry Coleman AST NIGHT'S verse reading at the JLi Queen Elizabeth Hall on the South Bank was a triumph. I know this is not probable, but it is the truth. Really, everything was against it.

Two previous big poetry readings have been weird and not much else. In 1965 a group of beat poets hired the Albert Hall for what Mr Allen Ginsberg called an assemblage of souls," and iti was mostly noisy. Last year the Greater-than-London Fire New Moon Carnival held itself, also at the Albert Hall, and poets1 made sounds like "yaa-huum," and girls ran round the arena, and the manager said he hoped he would never see anything like it again. And when last night's reading was announced even its title, "Poetry International '67," seemed slick, and so did the programme notes. To call Allen Ginsberg the chief prophet of a spiritual revolution which is radically affecting the whole of Western society" is rot, and evident rot.

And to say of Yves Bonnefoy that he is a potential lynch-pin of any Franco-English dialogue is also rot, and ill-written rot. But last evening was good from the start. The Queen Elizabeth Hall is calmer than the Albert Hall, less of an arena. Nobody ran wild. In the foyer a girl with long hair and a short skirt sat quietly reading a book, holding a wine glass between her knees Outside, Shell Spirit 2" sailed down river.

In the auditorium Mr Malcolm Muggeridge told us he was really quite inappropriate, but we ought to count our blessings because we might have had some provincial professor of Eng. Lit. He suggested we should think of him as a country vicar who had arranged a striptease in the church hall to help the building fund. It is Mr Muggeridge's gift to be flippant without being facetious his pleasantries were right, though the tone of the evening was to be reverential. As soon as W.

II. Auden began, the audience, of more than 1,000, was rapt. He explained that it might help us to-know that the odd lines ended in dactyls, and then recited a little piece about his house in Austria, for his friend Louis MacNeice. The applause burst out, Muggeridge walked over and took him by the shoulders, and he gave us another, about the American fleet in Naples. Hans Enzensberger, the young German with a colloquial political conscience, read two or three short pieces, which were also read in translation by Ted and then came the astonishing part of the evening.

Two poets, one writing in Spanish and the other in Italian, and neither of them a young man, so roused us that we yelled hurrah. This is strange. Pablo Neruda was born in Chile. He was 63 yesterday. His collected works run to 1,923 pages.

Last night his poems were read first in translation, but what mattered was his own reading, in passionate and singing Spanish And then Giuseppe Ungaretti's poetry was read, first in English by Allen Ginsberg in his prophet's voice, and then by the poet in his own language, with great intensity. William Empson read what he said Dylan Thomas considered his (Empson's) only poem, which was about drink and politics and impossible, alas, to follow. Enzensberger came back again, and then, with more to come, I had to leave to write this piece. Last night Ginsberg was not expected. He came along not to read anything of his own but to help read the translations.

He is the beat poet, and when the poets were first introduced last night he of course got the big cheer. But once things got going the greatest enthusiasm, and the cheers, were not for him at all, and not for the young German either, but for Auden and Neruda and Ungaretti. The English Opera Group was fielding the same cast as at Aldeburgh Monica Sinclair, a winningly formidable widow, John Shaw in his element as Smirnov, the hectoring bear," Norman Lumsden vividly cantankerous in the incidental part of Luka, the servant. After Jubilee Hall the acoustics of Sadler's Wells seemed for once comparatively spacious, and the brilliance of Walton's orchestration a chamber group given the richness and bloom of a full orchestra was brought out the more strikingly. There was gain too in the other half of the double bill In the sense that next to nothing happens and that very slowly indeed, Lennox Berkeley's Castaway remains a non-opera, but with all the original performers now much more confident than they were (to the extent that some ten minutes has been clipped off the total time) the delicate pathos of" Nausicaa's forlorn attempt to win Odysseus is now conveyed imaginatively and the musical solidity of the structure is never in doubt.

As before first-rate singing from Geoffrey Chard as Odysseus and Patricia Clark as Nausicaa.
